Chapter 231 No Cafe, No Human Rights
Today Li Tang wore a black dress custom-made by the endorsement brand, with a white shirt with a small stand-up collar. Compared with Cheng Er's well-regulated suit and tie, he looked clean and casual.

For film festivals, you have to wear dresses, walk on the red carpet, take promotional photos, and pose handsomely.There are also large and small press conferences and dinner parties, etc. These are not pretentious, but necessary etiquette for film festivals.

A film festival needs media, big stars, and an atmosphere.Only by heating up the scene can you stand with the best filmmakers in the world at once to show the piety of your work.

There is a sense of piety, and then there is the film itself.

"Wow, Bingbing, you are so beautiful today!"

Wu Shixian and Gong Beibi also arrived.

"Sister baby, I don't even dare to recognize your outfit today. Let me tell you, I also brought a cheongsam, and I plan to wear it on the red carpet at the closing ceremony."

"Well, I thought I was the only one who thought of wearing a cheongsam! Hey, where did you make the cheongsam?"

"Oh, Teacher Li helped to introduce it, and asked a master in Shanghai to do it."

"Really, let me tell you, I have always wanted to find a Shanghai master with excellent craftsmanship, can you introduce me?"

"Sure, I'll keep that master's phone number, and I'll give it to you when I get back to the hotel."

"thanks……"

As soon as Gong Beimi and Xiaopang met, they held hands and chatted passionately.

Women are really amazing, just a dinner last night can make the two of them like a pair of girlfriends who have known each other for several years.

Today, the male and female couple fully interpret the so-called Chinese elements. Gong Beimi is wearing a lotus-colored cheongsam with an exquisite pan head, which has the unique style of the Republic of China in old Shanghai.And Wu Shixian was wearing a black Chinese tunic suit and a black top hat on his head. It was just because he was short, his body was a bit fat, and he looked a little funny because of his obvious western appearance.

At this moment, the grand opening red carpet in Venice has already begun, and the first half hour can be described as unremarkable. There are a bunch of Italian local starlets, not only unknown to media reporters from other countries or regions in the world, but even local audiences and fans seem to be unfamiliar. Knowing that, when they showed up, the sides of the red carpet were quiet, barely screaming.

Suddenly there was commotion beside the red carpet. Li Tang craned his neck to look, and it turned out to be a parade and demonstration team that came out of nowhere and ran to the red carpet and howled, mixed with the whistles of movie fans.The media reporters who had nothing to do took out their cameras and snapped pictures of the demonstrations.

Although Li Tang couldn't understand their babbling Italian, he saw from the two yellow notice boards held by the team leader rushing ahead, one wrote in English "Life in Venice has nothing to do with the movie, and we are not the audience, we will be there again." I will not pay for your greed!"

Another wrote "You're cutting the salaries of the rank and file, but the top ones are unscathed, where's the change?"

There are other notice boards with similar meanings. There is also a sign that says "NOTFORSALE" hanging on a person. The translation is probably "I am not here to sell!"

Excluding some unusual slogans, this group of demonstrators expressed two meanings.In layman's terms, one is "Get the film festival out of Venice" and the other is "Give me a raise."

If Li Tang hadn't lived in the United States in his previous life, he might really not know what the brain circuits of these people are.The annual Venice Film Festival is one of the grand occasions in the world's film industry. During this half month, hundreds of thousands of fans and films gathered here, which not only made a great contribution to the local GDP contribute.At the same time, as a city card, the film festival has also played a great role in promoting and promoting the city's tourism industry.

Only a nerd would yell "festival get out of Venice".

In fact, this kind of situation often happens in the United States. Many reasons for the so-called demonstrations are very nonsensical from the perspective of normal people, and they can even be described as unreasonable.These people either took the money to build momentum for some ulterior purpose; or they just wanted to get something for nothing.This is probably the embodiment of the so-called democracy and freedom in Western society.

At this time, Wu Shixian actually put his index finger and thumb into his mouth and blew a loud whistle like the fans watching the excitement outside, and at the same time said excitedly: "Cool!"

This guy grew up in the United States and lived in the capital for six years. Knowing that this kind of situation is almost unimaginable and impossible in China, he told Li Tang and Cheng Erkepu vividly that similar demonstrations at film festivals Occurs frequently.

For example, at the Venice Film Festival here, the theme of the parade the year before last was related to religion.Since last year, people affected by the economic crisis have come to protest against low wages.This year, it has become two kinds of protest crowds protesting against low wages and protesting that the film festival makes Lido Island too noisy.

It's just that in the past, they were all demonstrating outside the movie palace. This year, for some reason, they broke through the barriers and ran directly to the red carpet to protest.

Seeing his familiar appearance, Cheng Er couldn't help asking: "Brother, do you come here every year?"

Wu Shixian smiled and said: "Yes, I will come to the three major European film festivals whenever I have time. After all, the best films in the world are gathered here, so I can learn a lot from them and learn from them."

Hearing what Wu Shixian said, Cheng Er showed envy on his face.But thinking about the economic factors aside, it is really convenient for people. After all, I have an American passport, and I only need to buy a plane ticket to most parts of the world.It's not like going to a country by yourself and you need an invitation letter and a visa, which is too troublesome.

The organizers also had a big heart. Facing the parade crowd, which was about the same number as moviegoers, they didn't make a strong attack or try to drive them away. Instead, they only set up a row of railings and roadblocks between the crowd and the red carpet.It can also be regarded as adding some lively elements to the deserted red carpet.

It wasn't until the crew of the American film "Small Nightmare" walked on the red carpet that the atmosphere suddenly reached a climax.

"Nicole! Nicole..."

The movie fans finally started to yell, and even the people in the parade seemed to be moved by this emotion, and many people shouted along with the movie fans.

Nicole Kidman, who just announced Tom Cruise's divorce a few months ago, has occupied the headlines of the world's entertainment editions for a long time.As the most important guest and face of the opening ceremony of this film festival.The organizer emptied the red carpet specially for her, and gave a 5-minute red carpet display time to welcome the fans to cheer for her.

No way, this year's film festival is indeed a bit bleak, because the great American director Spielberg and actor Jude Law who were scheduled to participate in the screening of "Artificial Intelligence" at the film festival were unable to attend, only the young actor Joe Ormond De will attend the premiere.The opening film "Dust" will also be lessened by the absence of the lead actor, the famous British actor Joseph Fiennes.Johnny Depp, the iconic star who starred in the movie "From Hell", can't come to Venice either.

Sure enough, newly divorced single beautiful women were the most popular.Wearing a black low-cut dress and a cool white skin, it is particularly eye-catching.Without the foil of cruise, she is still tall.

I saw her walking leisurely and composedly, standing still on the red carpet, turning around, taking pictures, picking a few lucky people to shake hands from time to time, every movement would cause bursts of screams.

"Whenever I can be like her."

Fatty, who was waiting at the entrance of the rest tent, looked at Nicole on the red carpet with longing.

"In the future you will."

Li Tang pinched Xiaopang's face and said with a smile.

"Oh, don't mess up my makeup." Xiao Pang turned his head away in disgust.

Standing by the side, Gong Beibi turned her head and smiled at the two of them. Although they had not been introduced formally, they were a couple.

After waiting in the waiting tent for more than an hour, after the previous climax time passed, it was finally their turn to waste time.

Although Li Tang had also walked the red carpet of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Festival, it was his first time facing such a spectacular red carpet. He was inevitably a little nervous, so he took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down.

I glanced at Xiaopang again, and saw that she was looking around curiously.Li Tang couldn't help sighing secretly: Xiaopang was born for big occasions.

In contrast, Cheng Er's face was full of nervousness, and his hands were still clenched into fists.

"Hey, are you ready to go to the battlefield?"

"what?"

Cheng Er was stunned for a moment, then said shyly, "This is my first time walking the red carpet."

"Just a few steps, don't be nervous. Don't walk too fast for a while, just follow along."

"Uh, got it."

After such an interruption, Cheng Er's nervous mood relaxed a lot.

Walking to the entrance of the red carpet, Li Tang and Cheng Er lined up on both sides in the chubby drama, while Nai'an, Chang Jihong and Zeng Jia entered the film palace first with the passes of the participating crew members.

Under the guidance of the on-site staff, Li Tang stepped onto the red carpet first, but when he turned his head, he found that Xiaopang, whom she had secretly praised for being born on a big occasion, might have been frightened by the glitz, standing in front of the red carpet. I couldn't move my legs in a daze.Seeing that she was not moving, Cheng Er on the other side had no choice but to walk or stand with her.

"Hey, silly, hurry up!"

Xiaopang's head was blank. Don't look at her seeming curious just now, but she was actually covering up the tension in her heart. When she really stood at the beginning of the red carpet and saw the cheering crowd around her, especially the eye-catching flashlights, she looked up. The child froze.

At this moment, she suddenly felt her right hand warm up, and when she heard Li Tang's voice, she was driven by the opponent's strength, and finally opened her leg.

She hastily took a deep breath, and in order to cover up the embarrassment just now, she replied: "You are stupid."

Then quickly adjust your emotions and hold the opponent's hand tightly.

When they came on stage, although the hosts made introductions in Italian and English respectively, they were shortlisted for the Upstream competition unit, such as the crew of the movie "The Third Man" from China, but the fans around saw how many On the face of an unfamiliar Asian, the cheers stopped suddenly, at most they waved to them out of politeness.

The same was true for those foreign reporters. After taking a photo, they put down their cameras one after another, stretched their necks and looked at the entrance, expecting the next star to step on the red carpet.

Xiaopang originally planned to walk to the middle of the red carpet, stand still, turn around, and pose a few elegant posses for reporters to take pictures, just like when Nicole Kidman appeared on the stage.

But at this moment, seeing this scene, he was extremely embarrassed, but he couldn't show it on his face, so he could only look at Li Tang with pleading eyes.

Li Tang could only sigh secretly. To be honest, it is uncomfortable to treat anyone so differently, but it is still the same sentence that there is no coffee and no human rights.The three of them simply stopped staying on the red carpet and quickened their pace to pass.

　The first!
